Good question. The best answer I can give to to suggest you read Larry Crabb's Soul Talk. http://www.amazon.com/o/ASIN/159145347X/002-9356180-2602438?SubscriptionId=02ZH6J1W0649DTNS6002 Short answer from Larry: Our passion for God must be awakened till it becomes the controlling center of our life. Everything else is secondary. Like your blog! www.chrisgribble.com steve Chris

I have just started a new role. I am not really sure what it is yet. But part of it has meant working as a builders labourer. Interesting I don't really feel like a good labourer myself either. Yet here I am placed in the middle of a strange environment and feeling very much incompetent, inadequate and not really sure of the future. Why does God do this to us? This is my question. I could be quite comfortable as a pastor somewhere. I know this job very well yet here I am throwing myself into something new again where it is unfamiliar and my level of competency is very low. But there is a bigger picture out there that I need to see as well the trouble is that while it is being painted it is difficult to see just how it will turn out.
